The Internet Archive will soon stop creating DJVU files for uploaded text files. The reasons for this are declining use, errors in the creation of new files, and the difficultly for our supporting the java viewer.
We will continue to make the _djvu.xml files that are word-based OCR output with coordinates, and we have an improved way of making .txt files that will work in more cases (currently it depends on the djvu file being created, and this has not been very consistent).
We will keep the DJVU files that have been created unless there is some upstream change in that item that causes it to be obsolete.
Thank you to the DJVU community, and LizardTech, for working with the Internet Archive on this.

DJVU file is small, fast, clear(400ppi,500ppi,600ppi), best archive format on the planet.

How can I create a djvu file from the djvu.xml and/or the other xml files?
Regards.

I understand that you no longer support djvu file creation. There are many books that have _djvu.xml and other xml files available. How can I create a djvu file using those xml files?
Regards.

Of course, the Java applet never was any good, especially when considering that Java applet support is being phased out in browsers. And considering that DJVU button has always been linked to the Java applet, not the file itself (unlike PDFs and other formats that link to the file itself), it isn't a wonder that DJVU usage has been declining.
